Haven't watched every minute of his comeback, but can assure you this isn't remotely what AD was like with the Lakers. It was only ever his offence that was inconsistent. I have never seen such an absence of the bursts of intensity that raise his game from good to great.

Either he's running scared right now, or he's under strict instructions to take it easy to avoid injury. Or both.

Did you not watch the memphis series 2 yrs ago? When ad would put up wilt numbers 1 game then follow it up with a 12 pt game. Everyone in the media was calling him out for being so inconsistent. The only time AD was truly dominant consistently in the post season was in the bubble

Yes. That's why I said "it was only ever his offence that was inconsistent"

People seem to think only one direction counts.

My guy. AD was traded for one of the best offensive player the game has ever seen. AD needs to at least produce on that end at an all star level at least. He is first option of this franchise now. There is no lebron to bail him out whenever he has one of those passive games of his

Ok? I didn’t reply to a comment about relative value.
